Education Leadership and Management

Schools need to provide an environment where meaningful learning takes place on a regular basis. However schools are able to accomplish their goals as learning organizations only when a wide variety of inputs and support mechanisms are adequately brought into place.

Ellsworth (2001) commented that Fullan and Stiegelbauer's (1991) The New Meaning of Educational Change presents guidelines for resisting, coping, or leading change efforts from perspective ranging from the student to the national government.
